Jury awards millions in damages for Unite the Right violence

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — In a mixed verdict, a jury has awarded millions of dollars in damages against white nationalist leaders for violence that erupted during the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

After a nearly monthlong civil trial, a jury in U.S. District Court in Charlottesville deadlocked on two key claims but found the leaders liable on four other counts Tuesday.

The jury awarded slightly more than $25 million to nine people who suffered physical or emotional injuries during two days of demonstrations.
